This is an endless debate.
We needf only know that there are vinyl recordings worth having that are better than or not avaable on digital. If so you will need a turntable to play them. The premise has been conceded

Greg that wasn't Gary's point-that has long since been lost. It was that there were different mixes used for the two mediums. :)

People who don't own turntables drink Diet Coke.

Neither one for me, thanks...


Same here. Never got into pop or soda...even as a kid. If I do have something I'll have Nestea or water.

Not so fast Johnny me boy. When Rbbert said "Neither one for me, thanks..." he meant no turntable and no diet coke. You on the other hand have a turntable so "Same here" doesn't apply to you.

Reasonable error. The difference between the two threads is more semantic than substantive.

Sort of. Gary is trying to tell music lovers why they should buy a turntable and I'm just telling them Coke tastes better than Diet Coke. :D

Add colour and B&W photography to that mix.

I bet your drinking some kind of diet drink so fess up.
All the artificial sweeteners make me sick so no diet drinks. Not a big fan of soda in general, so it's coffee, tea, water and fruit and vegetable juices.

Another anology might be fresh squeezed o.j. vs concentrate.

It's all a matter of who is trying to sell the turntable...isn't it?:cool:

For the price it, apparentlyo_O, now takes to expunge the last ounce of myth from a 1902 medium...I would (rather) venture: going through a private auction with the guy in Mexico that hoarded a collection of Beatles' safety master reels the former Capitol pressing factory down there was going to throw out when they shut down in 1980 and; I'd pay 'em $5G for 1970s transfers of Rubber Soul and Pepper.

Then...I'd (still) have enough left: to splurge on a $27k pair of vintage Electro-Voice Patrician 800's and a pair of 1950s Heathkit 5M Williamson monoblocks(!).

I *guarantee* THAT would rock the house with goosebumps a heckuva lot more than any vinyl ritualism.
